You should do some reading up on mono. I had it in high school and it sucked ass. However IIRC, there is some debate about how contagious it is, and how it is transmitted. There seems to be some correlation to people developing it after a long period of not getting enough sleep and working themselves too hard.

this is what I was looking to hear... thx.

np...when I contracted mono, it was after a few weeks of not getting enough sleep and partying too much (I had just turned 18, which is the drinking age here). My girlfriend didn't contract it, and we'd been "swapping fluids" right up to the day where I was diagnosed with it.

Other than a feeling of being worn down, the biggest tell-tale sign is that your neck glands will swell up big-time, and you'll get a really bad sore throat that won't go away for days.
